Boruch Dayan Hoemes: R’ Reuvein Rapoport, 87, OBM

With sadness we inform you of the passing of Rabbi Reuvein Rapoport, OBM, a devout Chosid and the patriarch of a large family of Chassidim and Shluchim all over the world. He was 87 years old.

Reb Reuven was born in western Ukraine in 1930, when it was a part of Stalin’s Soviet Union. His family emigrated to the U.S. when he was a child, and he was one of the first students enrolled in Yeshivas Tomchei Temimim in 770.

He was very loved by all who knew him, and his devotion as a Chosid of the Rebbe was exemplary.
